Chapter 94: Goblinshire (VI): Blood Rain (1/2)

[Blood Rain]

Rezar felt as if there were a thousand and one versions of himself, it was all over the town itself and while he couldn't exactly control it, he knew his influence over his abilities now stretched to cover the entire 20-meter radius that his blood rain had covered. The silence was palpable, and the high from his bloodlust and hunger had slowly came down. Now these bandits were no longer facing the monster called a vampire, now the person facing them was just Rezar, the Necromancer and the death lord.

[Blood Rain: Basic Lvl 1: Kill as many enemies as possible the moment this skill is activated and have their blood deposited in a blood cloud bank twenty feet in the air. The cloud would burst open after 3 minutes, showering a radius of 20 meters. Within that zone, all skills, would be blood attributed, and the power of blood magic would be increased by 150%, you have limited control over the blood coating the area. // Duration: 5 minutes// Cost: 100 magic]

This was the most expensive skill/spell in his arsenal, and after using it more than half of his magic stat had bottomed out. And even if he couldn't see it due to the absence of MP bars, he could feel it. But even if that were the case, within this twenty meters which was not much but wasn't small either, he had completely covered most of the attacking bandits. He wasn't fighting out of the goodness of his heart, he and the goblin king were enemies, he was hungry and the bandits had been foolish enough to attack him when he would have preferred to just be a bystander.

But this was a statement, he couldn't use an undead to fight as that would expose him and would probably rally the factions of not just Kerwood forest, but the entire Bahrenburg Wildlands against him. So he would give them something else to fear than just a horde of undead, and that was invariably… himself.

[Bind]

Whips made of blood surged out of the ground and pierced into three bandits, Rezar wasn't exactly sure how many of them were left, but their numbers were well over twenty. He rushed forwards, his scythe swing above his head as he turned and slashed forwards, the blazing edge of the scythe developing a bloody red glow as it surged forwards towards another group of bandits rushing towards him.

[Rend]

The very fabric of reality seemed to cut open as the red glow passed over their approaching forms, and moved forwards to clip three other goblin guards that were part of the militia defending the village. At first it seemed as if nothing had happened, but a few seconds later, their bodies burst apart as it seemed as if their skeletons were ripped out of it. Quickly following that were their souls and the prompt to either absorb them, release them or imbue them in a weapon.

[Rend] Was the AOE form of reap, and while reap was very precise and needed contact and dint cause as much damage, rend focused on the damage and had no guarantee of grabbing souls out of a body. And even worse the souls didn't last long as they burst into a shower sparks immediately before Rezar had a chance to see if they scythe could accept the souls.

But never the less his attack had shocked a few people, because he had killed both the goblins and the bandits together, but Rezar was in no mood to explain himself, they were all his enemies. He turned his attention to the three that had been bound before and was a little surprised by what he saw, their entire body had become dried husks as they were complete drained of blood. It was then he realized that his skill [Siphon] was active on the [Bind] skill, working like a passive.
